Buying on StubHub is convenient - the buyer enters their credit card information on the secure StubHub web site. The seller never sees the buyer's confidential financial information. Once the seller has accepted the buyer's order, the buyer receives order confirmation with information regarding how they'll be receiving their tickets.
